How to import recipient data

5 steps

1. Select list

Select the list you want to add contacts to or create a new list of recipients in your account.

2. Add data

Go to “Add data” and select “Import” within the list.

Choose between uploading a file, the “copy and paste” function, or loading URL/FTP.

3. Link data

Now you can match the data of your import file to the existing data fields in CleverReach®:

See the fields of your list of recipients next to the columns of your import file; on the left you’ll find the fields from the CleverReach® database, on the right the ones of the import file.

The selection of the data fields is made via a drop-down menu

If you can’t see the data field allocation, your import file presumably only contains email addresses. In this case, this step is skipped.

The field “email address” is obligatory, all other fields are optional

If there are no fields shown on the left, you’ll have to create them first.

If your import file doesn’t contain data for one of the fields, just put in an alternative value that will be added for every recipient.

4. Import options

The import feature offers you the following options:

Add data: New data is added, already existing data is not changed.

Update & add: New data is added; existing data is updated. Inactive recipients remain inactive, but duplicates are synchronized. An existing data set is updated with the first found data set, further duplicates are ignored.

Disable: Data sets are disabled; not existing ones are imported as inactive recipients.

Replace: PLEASE NOTE if you choose this option, all data sets will be deleted completely and then added again to the new list. All information will be lost (clicks/ opens/ unsubscribes).

Delete: All data fields from the import file are deleted from the list of recipients. Please note, that all information will be lost: opens, clicks, unsubscribes, etc.
